#15579 new bug

Closing webpositive while stacked and fullscreen leaves stack 'fullscreen'

Reported by: nephele Owned by: axeld
Priority: normal Milestone: Unscheduled
Component: Servers/app_server Version: R1/Development
Keywords: Cc:
Blocked By: Blocking:
Platform: All

Description (last modified by nephele)

  • I.e: stack webpositive and Terminal
  • press f11 to get fullscreen mode in webpositive
  • press cmd q to close webpositive

terminal will now cover the entire screen with the ttile bar beeing above the screen (and deskbar potentially above it)

I am not sure if this is a problem of app_server or webpositive, so filling under webpositve for now.

Well, a "fullscreen" window is just a window that fills the whole display. There is nothing special about it. What would be the expected behavior here, and how should it be done?

I don't see a problem with a fullscreen window stack, one can use it with keyboard shortcuts just fine. So, while this may be a bit surprising at first, I don't know if it is worth adding a special case?

The problem i see is that it is non-obvious of how one is supposed to leave such a stack, for example:

Webpositve: F11 aswell as alt+enter work
ShowImage: only alt+enter works
Terminal: only alt+enter works
Quaternion: only resizing with alt+ctrl+mouse2 works,

Ideally there should be one consistent behaviour, for instance if ctrl+alt resizing is considered valid for that mode it should work for all windows in that mode, if only alt+enter is considered valid that should work for all windows too,

The problem i am seeing here is just that one can get stuck in a window stack in fullscreen and not leave the way one got into it, which to me seems like a degraded useability

I think the issue in the ticket's example is that the left over Terminal only appears to be in (almost) full-screen. you cannot exit Terminal's "pseudo full-screen" with the expected ALT+ENTER. It goes into real full-screen then.

Interestingly, other S&T app combos do work as I'd expect: Stack Terminal and a Mail window, full-screen Terminal, and quit Terminal. You'll get the Mail window in its original window size.
